This is a discussion on CardsChat WSOP Team Event - Crazy Eights July 1-4 **Rail Thread** within the online poker forums, in the General Poker section; CardsChat will be having it's 5th WSOP team event this summer!
We are putting together a team to represent us in the Crazy Eights tournament that

We are putting together a team to represent us in the Crazy Eights tournament that starts on Fri, July 1st and ends on July 4th. The buy-in is $888 and there are 4 flights. It is a re-entry event that will run for 4 days. $888,888 is guaranteed for 1st place!

The event will be a last longer challenge and the team will consist of 12 to 20 members. We are taking names now for those who are interested and CardsChat members are welcome to join in! Long term CardsChat members who meet all of the qualifications may be accepted right away - decisions on all others will be made in phases until the team is complete.

As we add members they will need to post in this thread to introduce themselves and give us a little bit of background on their poker experience and history. Link your Twitter account please.

Cardschat will pay $200 of each team member's $888 entry into the event. (This is a re-entry event - you can re-enter but we will only pay $200 one time per team member).

The team member who lasts the longest will get $688 - the remainder of their buy-in!-In the event that no one makes Day 2 of the event, then we will determine the winner of the last longer by highest cash earned in the tournament.
We will also be giving away $25 prizes to team members during the event - we will announce those prior to the start of the event so you will know what to do to try to win some extra money.

You can start in any flight - however you will not receive your money until Sat when I am there. You must meet ALL requirements before getting paid. Also I will not be chasing you down to do them - including posting in this thread.

Team members will be required to:

Post their introduction to the team in this thread with full name and flight expected to play along with a link to their Twitter account.

Participate in the mega rail thread that we will create prior to the event. (or post their tournament updates in Twitter).

Wear a CardsChat hoodie or t-shirt and use a CardsChat card protector throughout the entire event. (Both will be provided by CardsChat unless you have already been given one in a previous event. (They must have the logo on the back). Baseball caps and t-shirts will be provided if they are going to be worn. Hoodies may be placed on the back of your chair - however if you are being televised either the hoodie, a CC tshirt or a CC cap must be visible.

Follow us and tweet about participating in the team event mentioning @CardsChat prior to and during the event.

I would be honored to represent the CardsChat Team again in 2016. I was able to win a Rio Daily Event with 1,388 entries last year during WSOP. Also my first WSOP Circuit Ring in 2015. The $888 event is a perfect match for another deep run at WSOP. Let's do this! Ruth "Ruthless" Hall

Will put you on the interest list (have to let active CC members sign up first but you will be at the top of the next round!). Need to know which flight you are playing and your twitter handle.

This most exciting time of the year is fast approaching us, the WSOP!! CardsChat has liven the summer with their team event and I would love to be a part of it. My name is Ting Ho (@queenofsets). I've been playing poker for a few years now and have finally won my 1st Wsop circuit ring last year. I'm currently chasing the National Championship points. Looking forward to seeing all my friends and making some new ones .

I'm not interested in this event, but I'll be playing some this year and I can wear CC hoodie and/or T-shirt. I'm not sure how many events I'm playing this year, but I can tell you when I get a schedule. I'm going to sell some of my action this year for the first time in awhile also.

GL CC team!

Good luck Donna that's a midnight start time here, I hope to be home that night to catch up on how you are running, hopefully you'll have time to keep us posted in a rail thread.

@ Debi, do the hoodies now come with the logo on the back, if so I will have to try and win one.

Can you post a pic of the new back please.

I expect to play flight A. However it will depend on which airplane flights I can get after work Thursday night. (So tentatively flight B as a backup)

I have a cardschat baseball cap and card protector. My tee shirt is way too big. (I'll bring it anyways to give to someone who can wear it) I have a hoodie but it only has a small front logo.

I also have a question...are we still eligible for the last longer if we fire multiple bullets (at our own expense of course)?

I guess I was supposed to post a little about myself too:

I am a wife and mom with a full time day job but I have been a "serious recreational" player for about 8 years. I have 2 WSOP cashes and 1 WSOP circuit cash. I won't bother listing the others...but there's more.

Yes - you can enter as many times as you like (we only pay the $200 for the 1st entry) and will still be eligible for the last longer.

PM me about the hoodie!

Hi I'm Liz Tedder

I'm on twitter @pokerlizzard

I will be playing flight 54C (and hopefully not, but if necessary 54D)

I'm a part time poker player, part time TV producer. I'm an off and on poster here depending on how demanding my work schedule is. I'm poker study buddy of Jacki Burkhart. I play a few events of the wsop every year. I have some wsop circuit and other event cashes. Did I mention yet that I love hoodies? I don't have a CC one yet, but I hope to get one!

I am still debating whether or not I am going to deal this year or play. If I decide not to deal I would love to be a part of the team. I have played poker since 1990-ish and have cashed in a ton of live (albeit local) tourneys in and around Michigan, and have played a bunch in Vegas - cashing a few times in some non-glamour events. I am no stranger to the glitz that is the WSOP having dealt there the last two years.

I would like to be considered as maybe an alternate or something, unless if and when I finally decide what to do there is still a spot open. I am planning on making my decision by the end of April and will let you know, maybe you will still have an open spot. I am going to play anyways if I do not deal so I can easily fill in at last moment if someone cant make it for whatever reason.

No twitter - yes its true, but will get one if I make the team

I will hold off on adding you to the list until you know for sure - just keep an eye on this thread in case it starts getting full.

I, for one, see no problem with an all ladies team. How many times have there been all dude lineups in poker and sports and nobody says "boo" about that.

Plus, the way I see it this is a promotional event for cardschat and an all ladies team would draw more attention without costing cardschat any more money.

Of course boys are welcome...but us Ladies will be just fine by ourselves too!
